Having battled through a broken wrist and depression, you would honestly think that Dott would carry on and play regardless. There are many on the pros out there who would have needed to be carried out before giving up because of dizzy spells of flu symptons. Maybe there is something more serious abound.

Can this tournament really be taken seriously with big pukka pies signs in the background lol? I wonder if the spectators get to sit there with their pies while the action is on haha. Surely they coulda come up with a better sponsor.

I,ll join the whining in complaining that Dave has not done a piece aboutthe match Davis-Hendry.Surly this is timewarp stuff, albeitin the first round.As stated by voting, 88,4 % chosedthat match instead of watching O'Sullivan-Stevens or Higgins-Walden.

Given the few ranking tournaments this season Dott's action don't make much sense. You would have thought he would have battled on! Williams casts doubt on his explanation and I do wonder whether Dott has lost the will to compete at the top level of Snooker!

I know Graeme as well and I know for a fact that he thought he was coming down with something the day before he played. He thought he could get away with playing and then recover if he won as he would not have played till Tuesday but the dizziness and headaches when he was down on the shot were too bad for him to continue.

I can't believe people are still bleating about Pukka Pies being the sponsors. As far as the players are concerned, I'm sure they wouldn't care if it was sponsored by Tampax. As long as there is a sponsor, that's all that matters.
